Thanks will, heres another one for you with us annoying a cosworth around cadwell.


Yes sonny , cant wait........see you there.

 

[C l a r k e y]

Well that's the 2014 race season over.
Car has been ultra reliable since we sorted the blocked breather at the first race meeting.
Performance has been disappointing, so we will be addressing this over the winter months with some upgrades and weight loss.
Not sure on power figures but weight will be around 800 KG's including driver.

 

[Tony Hunter]

You going on a diet then Dave?

 

[C l a r k e y]

No, Jacks going to drive it

[C l a r k e y]

Parts list building up.

 

[C l a r k e y]

Bye bye carburettor. Time to move on

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Cool car, I'd love a 5

Did you ever find the carb unreliable? Will you be changing to a coilpack or are you keeping the dizzy?

 

[C l a r k e y]

Very good on the carb, never had any problems. Just gets harder to fuel when you start pushing for good bhp.
Dizzy is going too. Time to move with the times

 

[Mr Burns]

That's cool as funk.
